iodine loading test for iodine deficiency; mistletoe

[eileen]

Thanks, Vickie & Susie,

I think there is a doctor in the NY area who gives the test. Is Ioderdol the same as lugol's solution?

Can iodine supplements be harmful in any way? I feel good physically, don't think I have thyroid problems & so far NED.
I'm somewhat conservative (although I do take Chinese Herbs) & I know that there is a lot of controversy out there about iodine.

loderol is made from Lugol's and has the same effect except tast. Lugol's is a dissolved compound of Iodine and potassium iodide--5% iodine, 10% iodide and 85% water. 2 drops a day give 12.5 mg. of iodine. It's great stuff, boosts your energy and feeds your thyroid. I don't know of any toxicity but there is a test you can do to see if your body needs the iodine. Paint a 2 inch square of Lugol's on your stomach and wait 24 hours. If it is still bright reddish brown, your body isn't utilizing it. If it is very faint and almost gone, your body really needs it. Good luck and please have that test done, it will make a HUGE difference in your fight against cancer. Love, Vickie
